Looking for good books

[Simotix]

Just looking for some good books, here is what I am interest in and not interested it.

Interested -
Biographies of people that actually ment something with an interesting life (example: Malcom X, Che)
Americas Imperial Ambitions (Already read Chomskys book)
Real events that happen (Something on Showdown in Seatle wouldn't seem that bad)


Not Interested -
Marxism, Leninism, Trosky writings - I have read most and read mostly what I have wanted to read already.

Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton is one of my favorites

Inside the Resistance: The Iraqi Insurgency and the future of the Middle East by Zaki Chehab

I would also read books on such famous Native American figures such as Cochise, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and Crazy Horse

Nelson Mandela(autobiography)-A Long Walk To Freedom is good i would recommend tht if u havn't already read it

Revolutionary Suicide is tough to find. Although you may be lucky and find it at a used book store or some other independent book outlet. If you want other Panther autobio's that are also just as good and easier to find try: Bobby Seale- Seize the Time, George Jackson- Soledad Brother, H. Rap Brown- Die Nigger Die, or Assta Shakur: Assata.

The Black Panthers Speak is good as well

If you can get your hands on Showdown in Desire: The story of the Black Panthers in New Orleans by Orissa Arend, I would reccomend reading it.

Actually I have been wanting to read more about the Black Panthers for some time and I believe that will be my next venture.

I am currently reading "The Gates of Injustice'. It is about prison life and all things prison from what little I have read from it so far, and so far it is a great read.

"Ho Chi Minh: A Life" is one of the best biographies I've ever read, and it's about as non-anti-communist as you can get from a mainstream author.

Great read.

If you want good books on the Black Panther, 2 I would STRONGLY recommend are:

1.) Soul on Ice - Bobby Seale
2.) The Shadow of the Panther - Hugh Pearson

Hugh Pearson recently died in August, but his book stands for itself. It's an amazing account for the BPP movement.
